Last week, TKO (parent company of WWE and UFC) appointed Dwayne Johnson to Board of Directors and he gained ownership of “The Rock” trademark. One week later, Rock shared a video package along with the following statement to fans via social media…

“My honor to join @TKOGrp Board of Directors (who owns @wwe & @ufc)

An historic day of big business with deep and personal ‘life comes full circle’ significance for me. I have the privilege now to sit at the table, that my grandfather and my dad helped to build. Now the fun part – we go to work. We build.

Thank you to my TKO/WWE partners-
